I would not accept having the prosthetic foot be that much wider than
the flesh foot.

This is an example of the style of shoe that I often wear, from the
shoebuy website. The website has a search feature and you can specify
heel height and some things about size:

I tend to buy oxford-style or mary-jane style shoes when I'm not
wearing tennis shoes.
Grasshopper, Prophet,and Aerosole are some brands that often have a
bunch of low-heeled shoes.

I wear boots that zip when I encounter snow. If you encounter deep
snow, you may want to look at wearing gaiters on top of pants and
boots. One example is at

My winter boots are a style similar to this

Your prosthetist does not sound very responsive.  I would think about
going elsewhere.
